I believe knock sensors are like crush washers--designed for one-time use only. I think if you take one off and try to reinstall it, you'll have sensor problems.

The way to get to that hose is to remove the power steering pump.

I used to own the same car (quattro-not sure if yours is though). I always wondered how in the world I would replace that hose if it blew open. Every coolant hose on that car lasted the 19 years I owned it since it was new. Too bad the auxiliary coolant pumps didn't. I replace three of them.

After 19 years the car went to charity last year. No, she's not a dancer at Cheetah's! That Charity deserves a D3 A8L.
